When you need to sit down for a dedicated session of deep work, constant notifications and the temptation to check social media are your worst enemies. Fumbling through settings to block apps often distracts you further. A daily focus mode shortcut for iPhone lets you flip a switch and instantly lock in. By automating your iPhone’s deep focus settings, this shortcut transforms your device from a distraction machine into an iron-clad productivity tool.
Tap the icon right before you begin a complex writing or coding task. The shortcut immediately flips your iPhone into a strict Focus profile, blocking all non-essential pings. It prompts you for how many minutes you want to work, setting a silent alarm in the background. When your deep work timer is finally up, your phone gently returns to normal, letting notifications flow back in.
Go to getturin.com and describe your focus mode (e.g., 'Turn on DND for 45 minutes when I start working').
